The following appeared in the free music newspaper NME on the 8th April 2016. I completely forgot to share it on here, so here it is now.

H.P.Lovecraft - The Hound & The Music Of Erich Zann on vinyl
This l.p. turned up in the post this week. A limited edition audio book on vinyl of Andrew Leman's reading of 2 H.P. Lovecraft short stories. The art on the gatefold sleeve is exquisite as is the slightly translucent purple vinyl of the disc. Also included is a booklet with notes by S.T. Joshi, a respected H.P. Lovecraft scholar. Each side clocks in at about 19 minutes and the sound quality is excellent. I think only a few hundred copies were produced so snap this one up before it goes.

Record Store Day 2016 - Nosferatu & Suspiria
Today is National Record Store Day and independent record shops have been selling limited edition records from 500 different artists from all genres as vinyl sales continue to grow.
So a 4am start was needed to guarantee a space near the front of the queue outside Gatefield Sounds in Whitstable which had a solitary copy of a purple vinyl 7" single of Goblin's Suspiria.
Slightly less scarce was a silver vinyl 7" of the soundtrack to the 1922 film Nosferatu which I bought from the same shop in Whitstable... but I was still able to find copies in both of Folkestone's record shops (Vintage & Vinyl and Hot Salvation) later on in the morning.
I also managed to pick up the BBC lp of 'Doctor Who - Genesis Of The Daleks', the 1975 story that in the age before videos and DVDs was released as an audio soundtrack with linking narration by Tom Baker. This is available on 'TARDIS' blue vinyl. Also I managed to pick up a double lp on yellow vinyl of the 1960s Peter Cushing Dr Who films 'Doctor Who & The Daleks' and 'Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150AD'.

Cthulhu Monopoly
I know Monopoly is quick to cash in with all its special editions, but here's one that escaped even me...
I might've been tempted to buy it, if it doesn't take so long to play...

Folkestone, Film, TV & Comic Con. - Saturday 7th May 2016
Been meaning to put a small plug on here for this local convention. Ok, it's never going to be as big as one in a major city, but it is a chance to see the likes of Doctor Who, Star Wars & other series actors locally. There are also a selection of props on display and merchandise for sale. And the convention exists to raise money for local charities, having raised thousands of pounds in the past.
So do support this local event, which brings people to Folkestone and supports local businesses and charities.
